Archeological Resources Protection Training Program (ARPTP)
Up one levelThe ARPTP was developed by the FLETC together with the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and the National Park Service. This premier class provides training in archeological investigation and the subsequent prosecution of the crimes.
